🇹🇭 Bangkok

Thailand

Bangkok gave me the two things I still talk about: the climb up Wat Arun's tiled spire, and an afternoon in full chut thai in front of a gilded door, moving very slowly so the silk sat right.

  • Neké Akua in full chut thai — a red and gold silk sabai with a jeweled belt — standing before a gilded door.
  • Neké Akua in chut thai with her palms pressed together in a wai, gold-patterned doors behind her.
  • Neké Akua in chut thai framed in a tall gilded doorway, one hand raised to her chin.
  • Close portrait of Neké Akua in a red and gold embroidered outfit and a jeweled gold headpiece, looking back over her shoulder against a soft gray stone backdrop.

Where Else I’ve Been

Let’s Be Friends

Once a month I send the things that didn’t make it to the grid. The hotel I’d actually rebook, what I’m cooking on repeat, the one thing I bought and don’t regret.

No spam. Just what I’m loving each month.
